Face Magazines created by Nick Logan featured designs by Neville Brody. Neville Brody is an extremely well known and iconic designer of the eighties; like David Carson of the nineties. The magazine advertised and explored popular culture of the eighties within music, fashion and all areas of trendiness.
In the displayed examples of FACE magazines; I can see how Brody has greatly considered the visual layout of the magazines as they feature overt and bold photographs of models/celebrities that stand out clearly and shocking with surroundings of a various amount of typography designs. Personally I really admire how the title 'The Face' and the photographs blend together; even thought they are both visually dramatic in very different styles. They do not compete for attention at all; and if this were to happen then I feel that title page overall would be too hard to adapt to visually. The surfaces in the background are neutral and calm and allow the photographs and text to stand out clearly.
I have also included an example of a series of typography designs by Neville Brody; as I really admire his typography design most of all because of his use of colours and special effects that create interesting spaces amongst the sets of typography.
